An incorrigible Cognitive Dissident

Smoke signals

Obama and his big fat mouth. Major hat-tip goes to JM for spotting that, on 6th September last – before the ‘demonstration that got out of hand’ – in Benghazi (resulting in the needless death of Ambassador Steven) President O’Drama had told the world’s media that Al Qu’aida was a spent force and “effectively defeated”. Five days later (on the anniversary of 9/11) did a ‘spontaneous’ demo attack the US Embassy in a highly organised fashion to suggest otherwise?

I understand that a prominent Southern Dixiecrat family thinks that this is exactly what happened. I also hear from Stateside hacks that the Romney team smells blood here…bad blood. Worse still, there appear to be drone video pictures showing clear evidence of an ordered military assault on the Benghazi compound.

Were the Black Dude thus to continue trying to dump responsibility onto the State Department for this gigantic cock-up, those of a passionate Southern nature might feel inclined to explain the size of Barack Obama’s hubris problem. Mitt must be rubbing his mud-stained hands.

My Big Fat Greek Divorce. A major-league rumour in Athens at the minute is that Antonis Samaras is giving serious consideration to offloading excess ballast from his torpedo-damaged Coalition. As Evangelos Venizelos stands out like Mr Balloonalopulous on the ballast dimension, the word is that he will either be buried at sea or put on trial, whichever seems at the time to be the more painful.

However, I’m also reliably informed that, despite her protestations of loyalty while in Greece (from inside her concrete Gelimobile) a lady of Wagnerian proportions demanded the obviously impossible from the luckless Samaras behind closed doors. So as the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn knuckle-draggers seem to have more support than PASOK in the latest opinion poll, Antonis the alleged Hun-Obeyer is seriously considering an approach to the Hitler admirers.

None of this would make sense in relation to an accord with Berlin-am-Brussels. But it would were the plan to involve falling under the protection of the United States.

Big Fat Paedo-panic in Westminster. Now that revealing one’s abuse at the hands and other extremities of public figures has become de rigueur in Savile-Row Britain, it’s becoming clear to observers of the genre why so much endemic paedophilia has gone unmolested for so long. For the rainbow of sexual behaviour in both Houses of Parliament seems itself to include a penchant for smaller parts.

Disturbing rumours are circulating to the effect that trade union enthusiasm and the wearing of suede shoes are particular clues.

“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield…” George Orwell 1947

I’m a bit disappointed at reading bo++ocks on a so called deconstructor site. KFc you need to enhance your nightmares. Civil servant pensions may be outrageous but hardly the cause of the mess we are in.

“As time goes on and the horrors pile up, the mind seems to secrete a sort of self-protecting ignorance which needs a harder and harder shock to pierce it, just as the body will become immunised to a drug and require bigger and bigger doses.”
George Orwell (Quoted in the Tribune, 1947)
“Looking at the world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery.”
George Orwell (Quoted in the Tribune, 1945)

The only one I can think of with a penchant for suede shoes is a certain Nottingham Forest supporting, jazz loving cigar smoker with a stake in selling cigarettes to Asia and Africa who is also a Bilderberg member. What’s his name again………Cnnth Klrke. Surely not?

This is terrible…..’MPs could lose gold-plated pensions in radical shake-up saving the taxpayer millions of pounds ‘
Phew, just woke up having had an awful nightmare about civil servants and their pension entitlements….glad it was just a nightmare…..
